A Journey with Joseph - Pathway to Success

Billy Hornsby writes from personal experience as well as using examples from scripture and from contemporary leaders in industry and those within the church who have served in roles as "second in command." Lessons are drawn from the life of Joseph and the important role he played in God's plan for His people in Israel. Excellence and integrity, forgiveness instead of retaliation, point of view, and an understanding of the second in command culture are all a part of Billy's formula for success. Networking, leverage, and influence are also an important part of your role in your organization. Hornsby demonstrates how the reader can recognize and hone their qualifications, personal traits, and leadership skills. The format of the book is designed for reader ease in assimilating and applying the leadership strategies under consideration. I appreciated the questions, charts, and other visual illustrations that reinforced and enhanced the written portions of the narrative. Hornsby provides life skills coaching for personal success as well as keys to success as second in command. I personal found the chapter on insights meaningful and helpful as Billy presented a leadership insight with a management insight and related these to relational insights. "Success for the Second in Command" is a book for the corporate vice president, the associate pastor, and for those in any subordinate leadership role, whether in industry, business, or in the administration of the ministry of the church. This is an important and timely guidebook, destined to become a classic on how to become successful as a subordinate leader.
